Shoots... I think I like this better than the Teton Workshop shifter I bought. Classic look. Wish you wouldn't have posted this.

Where did you get it?

So did my first round trip to work today with the new Michelin tires. (150 miles round trip) Not kidding I gained 1.5 mpg just from the tires. The truck just seems to move easier which I expected. The stock Goodyear Wranglers were just too much drag. Very happy with the ride quality and did some snow and ice driving this morning and the tires handled it nicely.

Yes, not surprised. They are a very good tire. Ran them for many trouble free years. I didn’t run these this time as I wanted the look of an A/T tire with the Toyo Open Country AT3’s.

Any other brands equivalent to OEM quality. Dont really care that it says Toyota on it but I have seen some that are $80-$100 that are not OEM.

Rather not pay $150-170 if there are other brands that work just as good.

probably why some asshole stole mine out of my truck. parked at a train station, when to work, came home, didn't think much of it, next morning noticed it was gone. people suck, next we will need mat locks (and less Matlocks to solve the crimes)

There is a funny ass thread somewhere about a guy who ended up bolting his bed mat to his bed…

Yep, people do suck. Someone stole my side view mirror off of my truck at a Home Depot one afternoon years ago, couldn’t believe it.

Sounds interesting. Can you post up some pics of the new tires installed, with several angles? Tia.

Did you expect to NOT see your cat when done? I certainly did. I almost thought there was a new design that shifted the cat back a bit, and MillerCat hadn't seen it yet.

From what I saw before purchasing, I expected it. Thieves can cut the back but are unable to get a blade in there to cut the front. But, meth heads are resilient so you never know.

Found out hauling just a few little items from HD that these plastic bed liners SUCK. Stuff slid all over the place. Short of pulling it out and having Rhino or something sprayed in, any other shortcuts to consider? Just manhandling a mini fridge onto the tailgate already scratched that. It took almost 20 years to finally tear the Rhino I had on my GMC.

I ended up buying a stall mat and cutting it to fit. Less than $70.

Found an off brand that looks similar to the OEM Mat, minus the lettering… not sure if I want to risk it though.

@VTi EG6

You could chance it. If it's not what you want, send it back.

Here's the dealership I bought mine from:

Where did you purchase this from and did it come with the Red Hook also?

Go to Tracktor supply and get a stall mat and cut it to fit, perhaps a card board template for the bed shape on top of the stall mat to trim to size.

OK. I have never given these a second look. Their website CLEARLY doesn’t do this wheel justice. What offset/backspace are your wheels? These are now near the top of my list thanks to your pics! Looks real good.

If it is any consolation, I bought my bed mat when I bought my 2nd gen in 07, moved it to my 21 3rd gen and it is still going strong. Its my work truck and gets a lot of abuse.

Hard tonneau cover and lock your tailgate dude

Added FSW 16x8 0 Offset wheels! Running the stock TRD OR tires for now. Looks great! Also got the coupon code "ROBSAUTOS" if anyone else wanted some off their website.

Finally got a weather window. Lowered slightly from the original location so it clears the lip of the cap. It always bothered me how top of the T touched the overhang.

Does your cap leak?
